I'd be willing to scan just about all of the NASA stuff if it's really only 500 pages or so. Do you want me to send it back when I am done? I was thinking some of the documents might be better OCR'd and converted to wikitext articles, if they are predominantly textual. My scanner can scan up to legal size. For anything larger, I have a hand scanner that scans a path 4 inches wide, can stitch those scans together for larger images. please delete my email address when you are done with it. ] 17:54, 2004 Oct 16 (UTC)

OK, I have the scanner running, trying to figure out the OCR thing. I uploaded this one file for test purposes. I'd like to convert this kind of thing to wikitext rather than keep them as jpgs, cause they get pretty big. If you know of any resources to help me figure out optical character recognition, I'd be grateful. ] 22:12, 2004 Dec 29 (UTC)

I have no issue with you beyond your lack of use of edit summaries (aggravated by the fact you were told about it in your previous RfAs). You should consider installing that javascript thing that doesn't allow you to submit edits unless you write the summary. Certainly no hard feelings. Congrats on your promotion! -- ] | ] | ] 12:56, 8 November 2005 (UTC)

Hi. Congrats from me too on being handed the mop. You solicited input, but I'm not sure what I can say beyond what I already commented on in your RfA. While I certainly agree that some significant amount of experience should be required of an admin candidate before approval, I think putting a fixed number on either time or edit count is a poor way to evaluate candidates. We (in my opinion, anyway) want admins who are wise, knowledgeable, just, tolerant, have a thick skin, and easy to get along with. Counting edits is the wrong metric for evaluating any of those qualities. --] 13:17, 8 November 2005 (UTC)

I concur with these other editors. Please try and use the summary box more, and just calm down a bit when flustered. If you feel high strung, back away from the situation. I don't really have any pressing concerns at this moment, but just keep up the good work and I'm sure you'll do fine as Admin.
